“Oh, bother. I forgot to take my Synthroid… now I can’t eat breakfast until an hour after my workout. Oh, dear. I hope my sneakers and sweatshirt are still at the gym… I can’t believe I forgot my shoes AND my jacket there yesterday. [sigh] It’s raining. We’re going to have to run in the rain.”

Seriously, you guys. I’ve been such a whiner this week.

I missed the warmup 400m run ’cause I was late, and I was threatened with a burpee punishment, but just now realized we all forgot to have me pay penance. Woot! The run ladder made the warmup fun, but I have to admit: I was really intimidated by the workout. No skill work today – just a kick-your-ass WOD. See?

I might have walked a few steps at the turn-around of a few of the running segments in Rounds 4 and 5, but I forced myself to “be aggressive” on the one-arm snatches and worked hard (really hard) on those thrusters. I give myself an A+ for relentlessness.

When I recovered from the WOD, I did the extra credit: a one-minute side plank on each side.

Its so funny because I use Eeyore as the perfect way to describe someone that is always the downer. We have this one woman who will find the down side to EVERYTHING — And what's great about your eeyore day is you still went ahead and kicked ass — that's what matters really!

"I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little – if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny." – Coco Chanel
